    Gold is used in a great deal of electronics and for low resistance electrical contacts due to it's nonexistent oxidation levels.

    Despite it's relative (to other metals) uselessness, it is still widely regarded as a currency.

    Oh and how about dentistry?

      It's used in space helmets to block radiation too. It has a lot of space-related applications.

      Dont they usually use mercury? Gold teeth look rather tacky. Even my teeth are all silver not gold. I know they use gold sometimes but I do not think that is normal practice. I have had cavities and none that are gold.

          Well they changed to the white ones a few years ago but I had teeth issues since I was small. I also have a habit of chewing and grinding my teeth.
